Hotel Royal in Torrensville has launched a luxe new winter menu, with a Feed Me option at the forefront and a new share plate philosophy full of hearty mains primed for the colder months.
All of the hotel’s pub classics are still there, but the menu now offers winter-friendly plates made to share on special occasions. A 12-hour slow cooked lamb shoulder is a highlight, along with the beef rib eye with chimichurri, and roast pork loin with house-made spiced apple sauce.
The updated menu also features a beef cheek ragu with pappardelle, grilled chicken or tofu laksa, and a Yoder smoked pork cutlet with salt and vinegar potato, gochujang sauce, kimchi slaw, and peanut chilli crunch.
Head Chef Albert is at the helm of the new menu, with a Feed Me option also on offer. For $65, diners can sit back and let the kitchen decide, with a handpicked selection of seasonal dishes served over three set courses.
For an extra-special setting, the Captain’s Table offers a semi-private dining experience for up to 10 people. Located within the restaurant, the space includes a large timber centrepiece ideal for small gatherings.
General Manager Scott Oakley said the updated offering builds on what Hotel Royal is known for.
“We’re excited to be sharing our new winter menu to the people of Adelaide and provide them with the familiar flavours they know and love and also introduce them to something new,” Oakley said.
“Like a lot of our venues, we have a Yoder Smoker, which is a really iconic element of our kitchen that we pride ourselves on, so we love incorporating new items on our menu that showcase this feature.”
Yoder Smokers are heavy-duty wood-fired barbecue smokers used for low-and-slow cooking, known for rich smoky flavours, ideal for slow-cooked meats like the restaurant’s lamb shoulder dish.
Following an $8 million renovation completed in 2023, the venue now features two fireplaces, a redesigned bar, courtyard, upstairs function room, and a balcony overlooking Henley Beach Road.
Winter is also the perfect time to head out to the pub to cheer on your footy team, and Hotel Royal’s Back Pocket sports bar is the place to be. Think ice cold beer on tap, big screens showing all the action, and even an upstairs space that’s perfect when the weather’s fair. Missed out on showdown tickets? Head to the Royal and catch the rivalry while you indulge in the new menu, or get in on the $30 burger & pint deal exclusive to Saturday 26 July.
If you’re in search of a weeknight feed, you can also grab a pizza and spritz for $25 total, with Aperol, Limoncello, and 36S Sour Cherry spritzes all on offer.
